while I might agree with you on what should be used as separators (and
I'm not, currently), I am not asking here to use a peculiar one just for
web pages.
My question is about supporting locales for formatting these numbers
related to quantities on our web pages.

Then, if you think Italian locale is wrong in Debian, please submit a
bug report against the relevant package.

Thanks,
